Where to shop, eat and take in art during downtime between couture shows in the City of Light.

JEWELRY BOX: Fans of Aurélie Bidermann should check out the designer’s new fine jewelry store on Rue Royale. The charming pint-sized space was designed by Italian architect Fabrizio Casiraghi in collaboration with the Atelier Franck Durand, with terra-cotta tiles among its features.

On display are pieces from her new Mexico-inspired jewelry collection (think oversized globed cuffs, hoop earrings and beaded bracelets in turquoise or lapis lazuli) alongside items from the permanent line, intermingling with a selection of design objects and flea-market finds.

Aurélie Bidermann

14 Rue Royale, 75008

Open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tel.: +33-1-42-60-54-01

BREAKFAST CLUB: For breakfast appointments, check out Claus Estermann’s new Saint-Germain-des-Prés outpost, a more intimate spin on his Palais-Royal address with a Bauhaus-inspired interior by Fabrizio Casiraghi. There are pale green banquettes and elegant long gold mirrors.

The 20-seater space offers house classics like the rösti with marinated salmon and fresh cream. New dishes include tartines topped with Stracciatella cream, mashed beans and crunchy vegetables, and a healthy bowl mixing spinach, black radish, pumpkin seeds, poached egg, chicken and avocado. Those with a sweet tooth can sample the brioche with pear compote perfumed with orange blossom water or the scrummy almond milk chia pudding with honey, banana and nuts.

BACKSTAGE REFRESHMENT:Carven has refurbished its Left Bank flagship to reflect the brand’s new style, carving out a fresh space with a behind-the-scenes feel. Lined with wood paneling, the uncluttered store is meant to project an archivist’s environment, offering an alternative to a high-gloss industry. The renovations included adding a dressing room on the ground level of the 700-square-foot boutique, which also has more than 530 square feet below, at the basement level, with additional dressing rooms. The boutique showcases the first collection of creative director Serge Ruffieux.

THREE’S A PARTY: Just as couture is specific to Paris, so too are these three art exhibitions taking place in the French capital right now.

At the Centre Pompidou 130 pieces are on display to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the death of French sculptor César. From his famous car compressions to his fascinating foam expansions, the show emphasizes the seriality and monumentality of his international oeuvre.

Meanwhile, the Musée d’Orsay examines the graphic connection between words and images with an exhibit focused on the 1936 essay by Paul Valéry on dance-obsessed painter Edgar Degas. Drawings and notebooks are juxtaposed to convey the strength and artistic wealth of the two men’s long-lasting friendship.

Conceptual artist Sophie Calle found the perfect place to invite fellow sculptor Serena Carone for an unprecedented dialogue on contemporary art: the quirky Museum of Hunting and Nature. New works have been especially created for the occasion, taking advantage of the museum’s spaces and interacting with the local fauna there. It also includes several of her past creations, which are gathered together for the first time in 15 years.

“I was noticing that a lot of curvy, beautiful women love the jeans and the denim line, and I thought why not partner with Ashley Stewart and come up with a great selection together?” said La La Anthony, who is teaming with Ashley Stewart, the plus-size retailer, to create a capsule collection that goes online today and will hit stores this week, writes @lisajlockwood .

One of Oribe’s most memorable hairstyles for longtime client Jennifer Lopez was the “hyperbolic” ‘60s bouffant he created for her for the Oscars in 2002. The late hairstylist’s web site said that while many critics panned the look, “Lopez had the good taste to absolutely love it.” More on Oribe, who has died at 62, on WWD.com.
